Patients Love the ARTAS Transplant Robot, Announces Hair Transplant Institute of Miami

Florida residents no longer have to fear a tedious and time-consuming hair transplant procedure.

The ARTAS® System is now available in Miami, giving men and women who suffer with hair loss an easier way to reclaim their luscious locks.

The first ever FDA-approved hair transplant robot, ARTAS delivers a more comfortable transplant procedure with greater accuracy, unparalleled precision, and a faster recovery period.

There are fewer than 20 ARTAS Systems in the United States; most recently, the highly advanced hair transplant robot has found a new home at the Hair Transplant Institute of Miami, located in the Offices of Merrick Park.

"The ARTAS system enables our team to harvest individual hair groupings [follicular units] without removing a linear strip of tissue from the scalp," explains Dr. Paul Rose, lead surgeon at the Hair Transplant Institute.

"As a result, the procedure is more comfortable, recovery time is faster, and the end-result is incredibly natural in appearance.”

With more than two decades experience in the art of hair restoration, Dr. Rose is celebrated as a leader in his field and is the proud recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the International Society of Hair Restoration (ISHRS) Golden Follicle.

As co-creator of the Follicular Isolation Technique (FIT) and inventor of the ‘ledge’ trichophytic closure, Dr. Rose is a noteworthy contributor to the study, science, and aesthetic development of hair restoration.

For patients who are wary with the idea of a robotic medical device being used during their transplant procedure, Dr. Rose is quick to offer an important word of encouragement: The ARTAS is a physician-guided. A licensed and highly skilled surgeon conducts the procedure, and at no point is the patient left alone.

Using high resolution imagery, the ARTAS calculates the orientation of prospective donor hair follicles up to 50 times each second. This enables surgeons to harvest specific donor follicles while minimizing trauma to the scalp.

As a result, transplanted hair grows in an all-natural and healthy fashion, and patients experience faster turnaround time.

And since ARTAS harvests donor hair via follicular unit extraction (FUE), patients may wear their hair as short as they like without ever having to worry about hiding a post-procedure linear scar.
